condoms

firstly, how reliable are condoms as a form of contraception?

At school, we were told to test a condom after we'd used it to make sure it hadn't split. They told us to fill it with water and see if there was a leak. Is this not weird, will your partner (I'm a girl) not find it odd if you took it away to the tap and checked?

You can test the condoms before your boyfriend comes so it is not that weird. But honestly if you don't test the condoms using at least one condom test then you are going to regret it when the pregnancy test says "pregnant"

It is useless to check before as it is more likely to break during sex. You check after and if it's broken then she takes a pill.

^^^ Definitely. Please don't fill a condom with water before putting it on, or it won't be effective.

Note: you can the emergency pill for free on the NHS and they'll keep it confidential, but you need to take ideally <48 hours afterwards. It essentially brings on an early period and might mess with your cycle a bit, but at least you won't get pregnant.

Condoms are great when used with other contraception e.g the pill or the implant. The risk of getting pregnant from a broken condom is virtually impossible if this is the case. I've used both, so if anyone has any questions about them, feel free to ask me.

lol what do u think about not using a condom at all if the girl is on the pill/implant?
